It looks like it has the taller Cavalier tail on it. Did the tall tail exist or was it common in 1959?

Earlier this evening, I happened upon a website concernng the North American P-52 Mustang. I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Vern Peterson while living in Texas in the mid 1980’s. We drove to his hangar near Gainesville on the East side of I35. He was a very personable and kind man. My then husband was taken up for a ride and Mr. Peterson did a front roll with him. They landed and he was green. I was excited to ride in his P51 and had the most thrilling flight of my life. He did a side roll and it was such a wonderful experience, we came down with a wide smile on my face that just didn’t go away for a long time. A few years later, when I was a Used Car Title Clerk for Huffines Chevrolet in Lewisville on I35, I processed a trade with his name on the title. I was curious and was told his widow had traded the truck, I believe. The story shared with me was that he’d been flying his P51, experienced a heart attack, but managed to land safely without damage to the aircraft, and dying. This fine gentleman was an absolute rock, calm, steady, gifted and most experienced pilot who, I was told, flew the Hawaii flights for American Airlines. I’ll always remember that most wonderful day and exciting flight that still puts that smile on my face. Thank you, Mr. Peterson, for giving me an unforgettable day. If ever I could have one wish for a power or ability, it would be flight. I erroneously remembered his surname as Anderson. Thank you all for correcting my mistake.

I was an instructor at OXC in the early 80s and learned to fly there in 73. I helped push his Bearcat in and out of the main hanger. One of the great sights was when he came in with about 5 other Mustangs and a Corsair. The last one in to park was the Corsair. It got to the row to park saw it was to tight…. folded the wings and parked. When the canopies opened some of the most beautiful woman got out of the back seat.

The best though was a lineman and friend Al Amato called me and said would you give a biennial check to George in the P-51. It was a ride of a life time. George briefed me that if the plane had an issue he’d jet the canopy so I could bail out. I said I’d stick with him. I was an A-10 pilot at RAF Woodbridge in the Uk when Al let me know he died. Good guy I did a slow roll in his honor.

This Mustang was stationed at Bradley International Airport Windsor Locks Ct. on the General Aviation side back in the late 1960's early 1970's as I have a couple of pictures of me in front of it as a young boy in my early teens. Always wondered what happened to it as it disappeared a few years later after that.

Oh, also, as a happenstance, in Elkhart Indiana, I was invited by Ray Sutsman to take a ride in his p-51 and it was quite a thrill!
Many years ago, obviously, but I will always remember it!

This plane, now registered as N351B, flew over my house today.
It flew out of Indiantown airport in Florida and landed at Jumbolair in Anthony Florida - the same air strip where John Travolta keeps his home and his planes.
It was interesting to read the history. RIP Vern Peterson.

Jerry Hayes gave me a ride on his P51 in 1982 and he buzzed a drag strip near Castle Rock, CO where they were having a Porsche rally. It was my 30th birthday gift from Jerry - soooo much fun!!!
